Alternative title(s)

d577005

Abstract

"The archive contains mean monthly precipitation data for the period 1891-1999 for 622 stations of the former Soviet Union and a set of metadata files that is essential for the use of these data in climate change studies.", quoted from the NCDC abstract. "This dataset includes all the monthly precipitation data in the [ds564.0] NCDC Global Historical Climate Network [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds564.0/] and more, and has corrections for wind, wetting, and gauge type.", quoted from for NSIDC documentation for ds488.0 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds488.0/#!docs]
